more than one of our shillings. If | should

Joke on me- but here for one letter some one
offers me $500. II is a question of the great

number of claims for arrears of pay, pre-
sented during the past seven years should
have special notice. There are upwards of
$4,000 claims waiting adjudication, "a +So of
which have been presented this year
The increase is attributable to the new leg
islation and decisions of the Supreme Court

has shown that nos only those persons who
have valid claims under the new laws and
decisions make demands upon the treasury
but that thousands of Others who think they
have not been paid in full, present their

RUSSIA AND GERMANY.
The Delicate Situation of the Two EN-
pires Toward Each Other.

Berlin, Nov. %.
The North German Gazette, of Berlin,
Prince Bismarck's organ, says that the inter
view between the Car and Prince Bismarck
on last Friday, was of friendly and very
comprehensive character.
The Gar complained of the policy of Ger
many. especially her policy toward Bulgaria,
which, he said, was directed against Russia,
az letters received at the Russian foreign of
fee showed. Prince Bismarck indicated that
Germany always regarded Bulgaria as lying
within the sphere of Russian interest and act
ed in this spirit whenever no strictly German
interests were involved. He expressed de-
sire to see the letters the Gar mentioned.
Bismarck then formulated at length Ger
many's complaints against Russia. The Gar
was attentive. and promised on his return to
st. Petersburg to better inform himself on
the questions on which these complaints were
founded and to arrive at decisions according
~.
Advices from st. Petersburg state that it is
not considered in political circles there that
the interview between the Gar and Prince
Bismarck at Berlin will lead to modifica-
ton of the policy of either Russia or Ger
many. 1t is believed though that it may con-
tribute TO the maintenance and strengthening
of friendship between the two empires pro-
vided both respect mutual political indepen-
dence. and both are desrous to maintain
peace.
